I bought this monitor (17" Samsung SyncMaster 17GLsi) on onsale.com about a month ago. When i received it, i plugged it in and everything seemed to work fine. The monitor screen came on and the three basic colors appeared and said that the monitor is functioning. I unplugged it for about a week, which was about how long it took to build my computer. I plugged the monitor in my newly built computer and the orange standby light comes on. Unfortunately, when the computer is turned on, the green light doesn't appear and the screen doesn't even turn on, instead nothing is on the screen and the orange light turns off. I tried connecting the monitor to my friends working computer to see if it was my newly built computer or graphic card but the monitor didn't work either. I also tried hooking up his monitor to my newly built computer and the computer and monitor work fine. I can't even get the three colors and the beginning message anymore. By the way, I'm running a Pentium III - 500 with a Voodoo 3000 AGP w/ 16MB Video Card. I'm really stuck, IF ANYONE CAN HELP PLEASE EMAIL ME. THANK YOU. Could it be the cord?
